Indeed! My kids would agree, since they don't have to pay for the ammo.

Thats the only reason why I refuse to buy the 25 round mags for mine...

Only 2 x 10 round mags means saving money

Their simplicity, crazy amount of aftermarket mods and nothing beats a BX25 mag and suppressor for fun :D

In parts of the world they are cheap. Literally to the point that I have seen a barrel full of them in a gun shop. A bit like the sweets next to the till.

I have tried to convince myself of the need for a 10/22 on a number of occasions but taking my 'daughter's' Model 2 out makes the internal argument fade. I just can't really think of what gap it would fit for me that the Brno hasn't got covered.

Peace through superior fire power.

It fills the gap of using sub-sonics with a silencer in a fast shooting semi-auto for plinking. To keep a target spinning or firing of 10 shots on target before the first case hits the ground etc.

:D as soon as you slap in a bx25 mag and start rapid firing you will want one.

Addy from PE will attest to this, he gave me his 9 mm black Darth Vader like tactical all black thing to have a shot with it a few years back. Hit target first shot, shot again and hit target again, brain caught up the count as I handed it back to him, lot more than "a" shot later.
